23rd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
11-race maiden but he's run some fair races this winter, including one run in blinkers at Lingfield last month; latest C&D run (cheekpieces) was a backward step though. |

6th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Comparatively exposed, being a nine-race maiden, but is in good form having been placed at this course (close second over 7f) and Wolverhampton (third over 6f) the last twice; possibilities if finding a bit extra in first-time headgear. |

26th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win for James Ferguson at Wolverhampton (5f fillies' maiden; second start) in May 2023; hasn't really figured in four starts (6f-7f) since joining this trainer; visor applied dropping back in trip from an easing mark. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
7th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a Wolverhampton maiden (5f, Tapeta) for James Ferguson last May and runner-up three times later in the year, but out of the frame in all three outings since debuting for this yard in December; exposed after 12 starts and plenty to prove up in trip. |
16/1 |

23rd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Reliable sprinter for James Ferguson; two runs for new stable haven't been her best but cheekpieces (worn once when recording her peak RPR) now return; a possible. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time. |
6/1 |

14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed. |

26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Now 10lb below the mark he defied over C&D last June but recent efforts don't obviously suggest he's ready to take advantage. |

Has a good record here and, after winning over 6f at Wolverhampton, it was a Class 4 in which she failed to fire here four weeks ago; has only won at 6f, however; tries blinkers (replacing visor). |

Bounced back from a spell in the doldrums with fair front-running fourth at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; also effective over C&D and a bold bid is possible. |

27th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

28th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Campaigned at Chester this summer, twice disappointing since his June win; has a solid record (13122) in AW handicaps but the removal of usual cheekpieces presents a question mark. |

Ran well at Wolverhampton in November (second run) but he's failed to build on it since, beaten double-digit distances in two handicaps; tongue-tie now given a go. |

12th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

A fourth over C&D in November stands out from the rest of his runs like a sore thumb; blinkers failed to help at Newcastle between Christmas and New Year and have been quickly discarded; others are more solid. |

28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Easily his best run was the middle of his three, in a 6f maiden at Wolverhampton last month on which he's not badly handicapped; needs to tap back into that promise now handicapping and perhaps the blinkers will work. |
